Yosua 22:24-25

22:24 We swear we have done this because we were worried that ²¹  in the future your descendants would say to our descendants, ‘What relationship do you have with the Lord God of Israel? ²²  22:25 The Lord made the Jordan a boundary between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no right to worship the Lord.’ ²³  In this way your descendants might cause our descendants to stop obeying ²⁴  the Lord.

[1:15]  ¹ tn Heb “Then you may return to the land of your possession and possess it, that which Moses, the Lord’s servant, gave to you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.”

[2:12]  ² tn Heb “Now, swear to me by the Lord.”

[2:12]  sn To swear an oath in the Lord’s name would make the Lord the witness and guarantor of the promise attached to the oath. If the person making the oath should go back on the promise, the Lord would judge him for breaking the contract.

[2:12]  ³ tn Heb “with the house of my father.”

[2:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “true sign,” that is, “an inviolable token or pledge.”

[6:17]  ⁵ tn Or “dedicated to the Lord.”

[6:17]  sn To make the city set apart for the Lord would involve annihilating all the people and animals and placing its riches in the Lord’s treasury (vv. 19, 21, 24).

[6:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “messengers.”

[7:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “what is set apart [to destruction by the Lord] [is] in your midst.”

[7:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “remove what is set apart [i.e., to destruction by the Lord] from your midst.”

[11:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

[14:1]  ¹² tn Heb “These are [the lands] which the sons of Israel received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes assigned as an inheritance to the sons of Israel.”

[15:18]  ¹³ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Acsah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “him.” The referent of the pronoun could be Othniel, in which case the translation would be, “she incited him [Othniel] to ask her father for a field.” This is problematic, however, for Acsah, not Othniel, makes the request in v. 19. The LXX has “he [Othniel] urged her to ask her father for a field.” This appears to be an attempt to reconcile the apparent inconsistency and probably does not reflect the original text. If Caleb is understood as the referent of the pronoun, the problem disappears. For a fuller discussion of the issue, see P. G. Mosca, “Who Seduced Whom? A Note on Joshua 15:18//Judges 1:14,” CBQ 46 (1984): 18-22. This incident is also recorded in Judg 1:14.

[17:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the lot belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph.”

[17:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war.”

[17:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Gilead and Bashan belonged to him.”

[17:1]  sn On the assignment of Manasseh’s territory in Gilead and Bashan, see Josh 13:31.

[18:13]  ¹⁸ map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[20:8]  ¹⁹ map For the location of Jericho see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[20:8]  ²⁰ tn Or “set aside.”

[22:24]  ²¹ tn Heb “Surely, from worry concerning a matter we have done this, saying.”

[22:24]  ²² tn Heb “What is there to you and to the Lord God of Israel?” The rhetorical question is sarcastic in tone and anticipates a response, “Absolutely none!”

[22:25]  ²³ tn Heb “You have no portion in the Lord.”

[22:25]  ²⁴ tn Heb “fearing.”
